Generally speaking, compounds of this invention are prepared from 2-acetamido-adenosine-5-carboxylic acid or from the corresponding 2',3-isopropylidene derivatives. 2-acetamido-adenosine-5'-carboxylic acid is obtained by reacting 2,6-diaminopurine sulfate with sodium hydroxide to obtain 2,6diaminopurine which is then reacted with acetic anhydride to yield 2,6- diacetamidopurine, which in turn is converted to a mercuri chloride complex. The mercuri chloride complex of 2,6-diacetamidopurine is then reacted with triacetyl D-ribofuranosyl chloride to obtain 2,6- diacetamido-9-(triacetyl-B-D-ribofuranosyl) purine, which is then converted to the corresponding 2- acetamido adenosine by treatment with methanol in the presence of ammonia. Preparation of 2-acetamido adenosine from 2,6-diaminopurine sulfate has been described by J. Davoll & B. A. Lowy [J.A.C.S., 73, 1650 l )1. The corresponding isopropylidene compound is obtained by reacting 2-acetamido adenosine with acetone. Potassium permanganate oxidation affords the corresponding 5-carboxylic acid.

From 2,3-isopropylidene-Z-acetamido-adenosine- 5-carboxylic acid, one can prepare the protected 5'- The following reaction schemes further illustrate the reaction sequences employed in the preparation of the compounds of this invention.
